SLB Heavy Industries - Hydra Hovertank

Hydra Hovertank.
Scratch built from sheet styrene and tube. Body is based on a Panther hull. The turret of course is a Tiger I, and the secondary turrets are from a couple of BTR’s.

Great looking model.  Makes me wonder what your spare parts stash look like :smiley:

Never throw anything away, so boxes and boxes of sprues with a few parts on them.

Unusual camo to me and like how it plays well with tank.   Smartly built with upper hull cuts that increase field of fire for small turrets.   Sloping sides and extra fuel tanks/barrels are right on.  8)
